#15 The future of work is happening now.
Brian talks with Stephanie Nadi Olson, the founder of We Are Rosie which has grown from a start-up to over 4,000 people in two years. They discuss flexible talent strategy, modern working arrangements, and treating people with dignity.
Stephanie's background as a daughter of a refugee shaped her vision to bring together an innovative working model, what she calls a "flexible talent strategy", to build a company in service of others. Helping a marginalized group of what she calls "corporate refugees" has made her an award-winning entrepreneur especially in the world of ad agencies.
"The truth is, if we do our job right, we will leave the advertising industry forever change." -

#13 Food culture goes beyond food.
Brian talks with Flynn McGarry, a young chef who is known for creating unique experiences. They discuss the evolving world of chefs, restaurants, and food culture.
Flynn's creativity is fueled by his passion for food and the food scene since the age of 12. This propelled him to become a celebrity chef and one of the most famous restaurateurs in New York at the age of 19. He considers today's chefs' role to be more akin to that of a creative director and describes the intricacies of successfully translating the brand through its various manifestations and components throughout his various ventures - be it a restaurant, an event, a book or a bakery.
"5% of what we actually do at the restaurant is a normal thing to do at a restaurant." -
